The snap provides a command line based wizard which can be run in either manual or auto mode. The manual mode will ask the user a few questions to set everything up and the auto mode will examine the system to take the right decision on which interfaces, IP configuration to use automatically. In the end the wizard uses the same REST API as every other client can use as well. So a 3rd party snap can create its own wizard implementation too. In the future (once snapcraft has support for hooks) we will add configuration to the snap itself as well to provide the ability for users to customize the configuration of the AP from the gadget snap (custom SSID, ...) Hope that helps. regards, Simon -- Snapcraft mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
